These jagged-edged, exotic, 'alien-looking' golden beets in my fridge just couldn't sit there for another day. And they were starting to freak out my husband. So this morning I unearthed them from my produce bin to make a refreshing juice recipe: Golden Spicy Citrus Beet Juice. Simple flavors from sweet golden beets, carrots, orange, pear and ginger make this a lovely way to hydrate in the morning. Vitamin A galore. See more alien-beet photos and get my recipe...
